They also say they are very appreciative of the letters of support they have received from the Santa Monica Board of Education and the Santa Monica College Board of Trustees as well as the Santa Monica City Mayoral Commendation. Tree-Hugging Day was sponsored by the Alliance for Survival peace and environmental group.
